Sweet little Penelope came a little early, just in time to celebrate her first Halloween! She was such a doll and it was a nice surprise to find out she was here and ready for her hospital newborn pictures downtown at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver.

Penelope, with Poppy as her nickname, was awake most of the time I was there, so we got more action type pictures and close snuggles as her parents kept her warm and comforted. She had the perfect little cheeks and so much hair! I just love when babies have dark hair like hers as there’s something precious about those tiny heads covered in soft, baby fine strands.

We used the big window in their room to capture snuggly pictures with both her mom and dad, and she was wrapped in a pretty mauve sleeper with a white bow headband. The headband was almost too big for her, so it will be fun to see her in a week and if she fits my tiny headbands!

There was a great couch in the room that was the perfect place for the couple to sit with their daughter and for us to get photos of the whole family together. Plus I love close ups of tiny hands holding onto parents’ fingers.

We unwrapped her only at the very end for a few close ups of her pretty face and some overhead images in the hospital basinet to capture the true hospital memories. It was a fun trip to get to meet her at just a day old and I’m so looking forward to seeing her family again next week in the studio!
